VISTA Awarded Nearly $1 Million in End-of-Year Army IT Contract Modifications

Company Tapped for Continued Support of BRAC and Related Programs

VISTA has received two modifications to existing contracts through the office of the U.S. Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (ACSIM). The combined value of these contract modifications is $923,000, and includes IT support for ongoing Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) and Army Stationing and Installation Plan (ASIP) efforts.

VISTA President and CEO David Baxa noted that the contract modifications showed significant trust from one of the company's most loyal clients.

"The U.S. Army has been a VISTA client for almost two decades," Baxa said. "In these times of fiscal restraint, and in particular given the budget scrutiny that comes at the end of each fiscal year, VISTA is honored that the Army recognizes the value that our company provides," he added

The U.S. Army has used VISTA for facilities infrastructure analysis and BRAC support since 1988, saving as a result nearly one billion dollars in construction costs. The service saved an estimated $200 million in the first round of BRAC alone.

VISTA also was involved in the earliest days of the development of ASIP, a database that represents the planning populations for Army installations. ASIP is typically used for decision support on military construction, base operations and installation management. Now a Web-based application employed by over 2,500 individuals throughout the Army, ASIP has also become the primary data feed source for many decision processes, including BRAC.

VISTA's IT, management consulting and system development services are in demand by both military and civilian public sector customers. The company's real property asset management expertise has made it a favorite provider of clients including the Department of Transportation, Department of Justice, Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Homeland Security, among others.
